Hey Guys,
I've been searching quite a long time to figure out how I can implement videos or images in one and the same slideshow.
I am using a content type which has the ability to upload an image. (This image is taken for the slideshow). I've now extended the node with a CCK-Field (embed media field) where I can insert a URL to e.g. a Youtube-Video. So if there is an image attached to the node - the image should appear in the Slideshow-Item and if there is a URL in the CCK-Field it should display the Embedded Video.

Is this possible with Views-Slideshow?

You can use node build mode with e.g. teaser mode.
Then you'll be able to handle the output using node.tpl.php file.

A custom build mode might make sense to setup the display settings for this particular output.

you can also write a preprocess for a field that shows either video or picture, its probably easier than writing a custom build mode.

@Roavei, I am trying to accomplish the same thing. Did you actually find a way to do this?
